We have really been enjoying all the fresh, home-grown tomatoes. We have 4 plants plus some volunteer cherry tomatoes and we're getting more than we can handle so yesterday it was tomato press time. The first year I processed tomatoes to freeze I peeled and seeded them and that is a time consuming mess!! Pat found this tomato press and it is wonderful. Just a 20 second blanching, then the tomatoes go in and the little machine pushes the juice and pulp out one opening and the peels and seeds out another opening. Froze 16 cups of juice yesterday which will be used for spaghetti sauce.

Not to hog the spotlight, but I recall having something to do with finding that tomato press . . .
I look forward to some of the spaghetti sauce made with fresh tomatoes when Jonathan and I come at the end of September. Yum.
